Re: [jira] [Updated] (FLEX-48) Building the SDK with Java 7

[Martin Heidegger]

My first guess would be to build the compiler and compile something that
has a jpeg in it.

How do we test this?  Seems like a pretty significant change to the
compiler - especially the batik related ones.

Building the SDK with Java 7

I've changed the SDK a bit to be able to build it with Java 7.

Everything seems to compile, although that is no guarantee that things will
actually work.

The main problem is the Batik dependency. The version used by the trunk

version is 1.6. When building with Java 7, this results in some compiler
errors for classes in the com.sun.* packages. So I've updated the build
scripts to use Batik version 1.7 (there is an option to NOT use the Sun
classes in the build file of that version) and resolved some more
compilation issues (missing dependency xml-apis-ext.jar, API changes in the
dependencies).

Attached is a patch with the changes. Please try this out if you have a

moment and let me know if this works for you. These changes are compatible
with Java 6, so when applying the patch you should still be able to build
the SDK without changing your Java installation.
